Near-death experience changes Irish artist's life

By CAHIR O'DOHERTY,
IrishCentral.com Staff Writer

“then suddenly out of the blue, in the midst of all of this, I had the most wonderful near death experience. As I was waiting in intensive care I felt myself coming out of my body. I felt a deep sense of bliss, a sense of calmness and joy, and for me it suddenly didn’t matter if I got back into my body or not, because I was discovering that there was no such thing as death. Once you realize that it totally transforms your whole perspective on life. Once you learn that life is infinite it becomes a matter of enjoying every moment, because there is nothing to worry about.”


"Inspiring!"
Deepak Chopra, New York Times best selling author and internationally acclaimed lecturer
"Roisin Fitzpatrick's art has blessed my life, reminding me always of the light inherent in everything"
Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author and internationally acclaimed lecturer
"Mesmerising…..mesmerising beautifully exquisite art."

"Roisin Fitzpatrick's art brings to light the rich heritage of ancient Celtic form in a way that is universal and can be shared by all"
Mr Niall Burgess, Irish Consul General for New York
"Artists often say they work with light, but Roisin Fitzpatrick does it—literally. She seems to have created a new art form. With thousands of Swarovski crystals in cosmically spiralling designs on pure white silk, highlighted by shifting colored light-beams, she re-creates the light of the universe in her stunningly original vision. Viewing her work is indeed an experience. You cannot just passively look—because it seems to literally pull you in with its energy and demand that you respond. By capturing the magnitude and power of the universe, she brilliantly makes the link between that which is infinite both inside and outside"
Dr Christine Ranck, co-author of "Ignite the Genius Within"
"Roisin’s art is inspiring and uplifting, particularly during these challenging times"
Nyartbeat
"Fitzpatrick creates art that subtly mesmerises the observer. Contemplating her intricate and elegant patterns produces a light trance state in the viewer which brings you closer to her intention with each work… The magic and light in Fitzpatrick’s recent artistic work arises directly from her near death experience."
Cahir O’Doherty, Arts Reporter Irish Voice, New York

These pieces exude a tangible warmth, calmness and love.

Truly spectacular!

I’ve read about what Roisin Fitzpatrick endeavours to convey in her artwork, infusing her work with a love, a passion and a strength of spirit. I wondered if it were possible for anyone to illustrate or communicate these things to each individual as our interpretation is as unique as we are. Nonetheless she has done it, I have observed myself and others view her work and all of us come away having had the same experience, one of love and peace. Thank you Roisin.

I never got it when people waxed lyrical about art and art appreciation, but each to their own. Having seen Roisins work, or should I say having experienced it, I get it! The best way I can describe it is you will experience a sense of ‘knowing’ when you are in its presence.
Raymond Baker (Australia)

Beautiful images, inspirational – thank you.
Helga Fleischmann (Germany)
It is difficult to articulate or to convey in the written word the sense one gets when looking at, or even more so when surrounded by these creations. Roisin is wholeheartedly and honourably an Artist of the Light. I feel loving warmth about me in the presence of the artwork I have purchased. I feel illuminated in my heart and being as I sit here looking at this beautiful image in the dusk of the day. Even on the days when I do not have time or indeed the inclination to sit and appreciated my new purchase, it always seems to ‘twinkle’ at me as if to say, that’s ok I am seeing and appreciating you. I love, love, love it. –Thank you!
